Decent playlists are an essential for traveling, whether for a quick day trip or a sixth month around the world. Compiled below are five travel playlists for very (I mean VERY) specific situations that we all experience on a regular basis while traveling. I tried really hard not to repeat too many artists, but let’s be honest, I’ve listened to the same three bands since high school so here we are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
